They can't let shit slide like they have for so long. Clinton had a "war room" to immediately respond to attacks. The Democrats haven't done that collectively since then.
We also need to adjust our messaging. The average American reads at a 6th grade level now, so lose the $100 Harvard vocabulary (KISS principle). Attention spans are short AF: If it doesn't fit on a bumper sticker, it's too long. Repukes keep things at a soundbite length for a reason. If we don't change tactics, all we're doing is preaching to the choir, not reaching out.

No, Democrats act like they're governing. You can't throw these tirades too often.
